Foolish. The same was said about DVD.
History shows that people have a hard time adapting and accepting new changes that relate to lifestyle and money spent. VHS didn't catch on very quickly, neither did DVD. They may have caught on a bit quicker than Blu-ray, but because they were still Standard Definition format which was the 'norm'. High Definition is a huge technological advancement that some people don't currently see the 'need' for. When SD slowly begins to fade out in the next 3-5 years throughout everything (even cable TV), people will have no choice but to explore the capabilities of HD formats such as Blu-ray.
Either way, next gen is going to bring some huge changes in consoles. Microsoft will NOT be using DVDs next gen (this I can promise), although Nintendo probably won't take a giant leap forward out of DVD-ish type storage capacities (as they didn't really take a huge leap forward after GameCube).
Just because other consoles don't want to adopt a disk format doesn't mean its doomed to fail. After-all, the format isn't used for ONLY gaming. If it was, sure... it would be doomed. But when its also has a firm hold in the Movie and (shocker) Porn industry.... its here to stay.
